Feel good about this game. Bruins are to the Rangers like the Caps are to us.

 

[Flannelman]

2pts

I wonder what the over/under is for King Henrik to dive again today...

I hope Julien fights AV

 

[Greek_physique]

2 games in a row where the opposing team hates Marchand! LOVE IT!

 

[Sevren]

A win today and the Bruins are ahead of the Habs

A win today and the Bruins are ahead of the Habs

Don't say that-I'm pretending like they are three points back because it seems like every time they can overtake the Habs they lose.

I think the Bruins can beat the Rangers but not sure how they do against them without Krejci. That third game in 4 nights thing might bite them as well.

Be interesting to see what the lines look like but my biggest hope (only one of Kemp or Talbot in the line up and not both) probably won't happen.

I wonder if Julien will put Connolly or Rinaldo in for Randell.

Hope this is as fun as the last game vs. the Rags.



Here we go, s, Here we go!

 

[LouJersey]

Go Bruins...

 

[Dueling Banjos]

Win and plenty of ny whining, that's what i want.

 

[Dellstrom]

Gotta string a few games together here... Separate ourselves from the pack with our games in hand.

 

[HeartsAlive]

2 games in a row where the opposing team hates Marchand! LOVE IT!

By my count this will be 41 games in a row... and that's only going back to the start of the season!

Good son vs bad son. Brother vs brother. Sounds like a good family tussle!

 

[Ladyfan]

Come on B's. Win this one please.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

Good son vs bad son. Brother vs brother. Sounds like a good family tussle!

Hasn't Bayes' brother been in the Ranger's doghouse lately?

 

[talkinaway]

Hasn't Bayes' brother been in the Ranger's doghouse lately?

Not sure, but he got 1-1=2 in their last game. *shrug* I don't really watch non-Bruins games, but I'd have to say that that means he's got a bit of a reprieve.

 

[Seidenbergy]

Hasn't Bayes' brother been in the Ranger's doghouse lately?

He was a healthy scratch literally the same day Jimmy got the hat trick.

If Rask wins his first game in 2016, the Bruins will Wake up ahead of the Habs, in 3rd place of the division, still with 2 games in hands.

Just win.

 

[Hali33]

Would be nice to have our bad son have a big night to troll the **** out of Vigneault.

 

[SmBoston]

Find a way to win this! Lets go B's!!!!

 

[DaStinger]

A win today and the Bruins are ahead of the Habs

Naw the habs would hold the tiebreaker... A win would be very nice though.

 

[BB88]

Hope to see a great effort tonight and waiting to see more of Marchand-Bergeron-Pasta, so happy they have a player they deserve finally

 

[Strange Universe]

Here is sending all my positive energy to the Bruins,

The game took place on a Monday night.
The Bruins were loose and felt alright,
Would they win to launch themselves ahead of the scabs?
With sustained plays by our Bruins players they would defeat the Rags!!
With forwards like Pasta, Ericsson Bergy, Marchy and Belly,
Enough headaches to make the Rangers play smelly,
Our D core composed of the Miller's,Chara, Krug, Seids and Rask,
Cheers to our D Men and forwards taking these two points to the bank.

Dr.Puck-Seuss......

Go Bruins Go!!

Naw the habs would hold the tiebreaker... A win would be very nice though.

First tie breaker is number of games played. So the Bruins would be ahead of the Habs as they would have 2 games in hand. If they had equal number of games played, then the tie breaker would be the number of regulation and overtime wins.
